SANTA ANITA PARK, LOS AN
GELES, Feb. 23. (AP) In a great
stretch run, Azucar, a converted
steeplechaser, cleared a 108,400 hur
dle today, winning the Santa Anita
handicap from a Held or twenty of
the turf's greatest bluebtoods.
On the wings of a chill north wind
came this 7-year-old gelding son of
MUealus out of Clarice, to fly home
In front of Ladysman by two lengths.
Time Supply was third, three lengths
back of the victor with Top Row
fourth.
Forty five thousand persons who
bad wagered 9230.33S on the event,
bowled themselves hoarse as the 13
to 1 shot moved In to move where
Equipoise had been favored to ap
pear. The great O. V. Whitney charger,
seeking the title of leading money
dinner of alt time, an 8 to S choice,
never was In a threatening position
and wound up seventh, deep In tho
ruck.
Azucar, finely rated by Jockey
George Woolf, made his move at the
rail off the last turn, going out from
fourth to. take the lend In the last
furlong. He tried at the end, but It
was too late for Ladysman and Time
Supply to make the grade.
The net earnings of the race for
the stable of P. M. Alger, Jr., Detroit,
aet a now world's record, shattering
the mark of 1106,730 sot up In 1020
when Whlchone captured the Bel
mont futurity. The gross stakes of
137,000 here, however, fell short of
the mark of $130,360 set up In that
race..
Azucar turned In the amazing time
of 3 minutes 3 1-5 seconds, a new
track record, for the mile and a quar
ter. It waa two and one-fifth seconds
faster than the previous mark set up
earlier In the day in a field half as
large, with War the victor.
Betting on the event also aet a
California record when the custom
art pushed 9330,335 through the pari
mutuel windows, more than twice as
much as had ever been bet on
single event here before. Of this mon
ey, more than 930.000 alone was down
on Equipoise to win.
Asucar paid 920.80 to win, to to
place and as.OO to show on $3 tick
ets, while Ladysman was worth 95.30
and 94.50 and Time Supply 98.40.
A alow starter, Azucar, who waa
witched to flat racing a year ago,
went away from the gate In four
teenth position, after the start had
been delayed more than ten minutes
while first Head play and then Equi
poise became unruly.
He gained gradually under the ex
pert riding of Woolf to move Into
eleventh at the quarter post. Pick
ing his spots with precision, Woolf
piloted the victor through the big
field Into fourth place through the
back stretch and brought the thor
oughbred to the rail as the field
moved Into the turn In a mad scram
ble.
William R. Coe's Ladysman also
was smartly ridden. Harry Richards
booted the five-year-old son of Pom
pey along In great fashion, saving
all ground close to the pace. He went
Into seventh position at the quarter
post, slipped to eighth after half a
mite and then piloted htm Into third
at the three quarters, always close
up.
Time Supply, winner of the Bay
Meadows and Narragansett handicaps
In recent months, was among the
leadera from the time the burner
went up until the end. Ridden by
Tommy Luther, Mrs. F. A. Carreaud'a
four-year-old bay colt out of Time
Maker, was first away from the gate.

ASHLAND DEEEATS
35-28, FOR
The largest crowd ever to gather
In the Medford high school gym Fri
day night saw the Ashland Grizzlies
pound out a 36-28 win over a fiercely
fighting Medford Tiger team In one
of the fastest gnmcs to be seen here
this season. With the victory went
the right to go to the state tourna
ment at Salem.
Medford opened the scoring when
Kunzman took a bad one off the
back board and deftly deflected, it
through the net for two markers,
and was awarded a free toss when
fouled on the shot, making It 3-0
less than a minute after the opening
whistle. In a scramble for the sec
ond tip-off. Hardy was awarded a
free throw, which he sank to make
It 3-1,-but Sears retaliated with an
other to make It 4-1, after which
Kunzman, shooting from under the
basket ran It to 8-1, Ashland prompt
ly calling for time out. This was less
than three minutes after the oponlng
gun.
Kunzman, on a free throw, then
put Medford ahead 8 points by toss
ing another free one, to make It 7-1,
the widest margin Medford held.
Prom that point on Ashland camo
rapidly to the fore, to tte It up at 12
all, Hess free throw putting Ashland
In the lead, a position which they
maintained for the remainder of the
game.
Smith, Injured hip and all, started
and played most of the game, being
taken out at the start of the fourth
quarter, when 'Campbell took his
place ond immediately swished a
beauty from the corner. In that last
quarter It looked as though Medford
were going to be able to rally enough
to tie tho count, they being only
two points behind, 30-28, at one time,
but the Grizzly attack was too much
for them.
With only a few seconds to go.
Smith re-entered the game with Van
Dyke, and a wild scramble ensued,
neither team scoring. Smith had the
fourth personal of the game called
upon htm as the gun sounded, and
Hoxte shot the extra point to make
It 3.1-20 as the crowd swarmed upon
the floor.
The Llthlans' offense meshed neat

was no rilsurace to the locals that
they lost. The two teams came to

In an attempt to avenge a 7-6
defeat In football at the hands of
the Monmouth Norma! school, Coach
Howard Hobson's flashy basketball
team will meet the basketball five
from that school in a two-game
series Monday and Tuesday of this
week In the Junior high school gym
In Ashland.
Although the two teams have had
many such series In the past, the
Hobsonltes nave never managed to
best the Monmouth Wolves In a
complete series yet, but intend doing
so this year. The task will be par
ticularly difficult because of the
fact that the Wolves boast the best
team that they have had In years,
with such stars as Yatad and Aver
Ill, giants from champion Astoria
fives, at forwards, Butterworth, 5
foot 5 Inch flash from Indiana at
center, Kelly, one of the outstanding
men of the state at guard, and Os
borne, another Indiana star, at the
other guard position.
They have defeated most of the
Northwest conference teams, and ex
pect to continue their winning streak
at the expense of the SONS.
It Is generally conceded that the
Ashland school possesses one of the
best basketball teams on the coast
this year, so the series should prove
a wild one.
All the money realized, over and
above the bare expenses, will be
spent for new uniforms and shoes
for the Hobsonltes, who will make
their last appearance In southern
Oregon before leaving for the A. A. U.
championship games In Denver.
The Ashland stars are all In good
condition for the series, as are the
Wolves. During the illness of Larry
Wolfe, regular coach, the squad Is
under the tutelage of Al Cox.
The games on both Monday and
Tuesday are called for 8:16 o'clock,
with good preliminaries promised.
